[SM-USERS] basic spam filtering

[Stan H. <st...@ha...>]

I just setup the basic spam filtering that uses the free lists of open
relays and known spammers.  I've checked *all* the options, and yet no
filtering seems to be occurring.  Presently, I have at least 20 or so
spams in my inbox.  I've set the plugin to scan "all messages".  I
modified plugins/filters/setup.php with:

$SpamFilters_YourHop = 'by  ramius.hardwarefreak.com with SMTP';

which is my exchange server and entry point for all mail.

Any ideas where to start looking for the failure to can the spam?  Is it
possible I'm (unintentionally) firewalling access to these RBL spam list
hosts or something?

Thx.

Stan
